Ninja's and samurai have NOTHING in common other than coming from japan. [/QUOTE]You think a Geometry Wars clone with good graphics is original??? What the hell, man?[/QUOTE] It's way different than geo wars in as many ways as it is similar. geometry wars. CS.one vs geo wars= Different controls Gangstar vs. GTA= uhmm, different quality. see what I mean? [/QUOTE]Now, that's extremely original... NOT!!! Firemint just saw that we needed a racing sim for the iPhone and made one for us. That's pretty much taking the Gameloft approach....[/QUOTE] Well Personally I've never played a racing game like it but them again, I stopped playing them after GT2 [/QUOTE]I understand Sway, but... Rasta Monkey?! Isn't that a watered down 2D clone of Sway?[/QUOTE] Actually Rasta Monkey was in development back in the later half of 2008 before december so I think it's safe to say it's not a sway clone. Also it won some indy award, way before sway came, out. [/QUOTE]I just don't get it! Why do people get so mad about clones of console games on the iPhone and they are perfectly ok with clones of other iPhone games on the iPhone?! Should it be the other way around[/QUOTE] So you have six favorites.. But only two of them can actually be "original IPs".[/QUOTE][/QUOTE] I'm to lazy to fix it. Some where in there, is my post.
It's has the same control but the story and combo moves are quite different. Also Ninja Gaiden is more 3D. I say they have the same control but the two games are quite the opposite
Are we going to babble on about gameloft parodies or are we going to talk about the TOPIC of this thread, how awesome Nova is going to be!
Wait. Since we are on the topic of copyright infringement then nintendo should have a great lawsuit against konami for MGS: touch is arip off o nintendo's duck hunt. Sorry for typos on iPhone
So your definition of a clone is if one game shares the same control/combo moves/3d engine/story ... so do any GL games share a control / combo move /3d engine / story with any other game? If that's the case then we have proven that one's definition of a clone varies with another and i suggest we drop this whole clone topic already lest we all became hypocrites! Enjoy your game of choice already ok, I already lay my hands off Minigore coz i just wan't to go on and enjoy the games that i like and let other enjoy theirs without stepping on their sunshine
Samurai has a different story, different characters, different time period, and different everythin except the controls. Thats all.
Hmmmmmm....you're still at it.... ok. Ninja Gaiden DS shares the same gameplay mechanic with samurai , that's the very essence of the game! So you are saying that if I get let's say a game like minigore... rip on it's gameplay mechanics but put in a little story, make zombies instead of furries and make it ultra sci fi modern era...then i'm no longer cloning a game? Well can you give me an actual example of a game that clones another?
Eliminate is expected around October. That means Gameloft would have beaten NgMoco to the punch with both Modern Combat and Nova, which most likely will use MC's excellent control scheme. If they get their Gameloft Live service up and running before October, then NgMoco is gonna be gritting their teeth a bit, especially if they have an old control scheme. They'll both make money of course, but Gameloft would have stolen a lot of their thunder.
That's right patience as the big boys are here now. We have had Namco on the device for quite a while now. Namco has brought many great games thus far one being inspector gadget and a bunch of the Namco museum collection games priced individual too. Did Namco bring Ridge Racer to the idevices no, we have Pole Position great game for that matter (slaps my own face). We also have Konami and they have brought many great games we have MGS:Touch (Duck Hunt) and they also brought Krazy Kart (Mario Kart rip off). Oh don't forget Silent Hill what a original game concept can I say Resident Evil rip off wait Resident Evil copied Alone in the Dark series. Your point of UI being copied by another company aren't really good, as a ton of companies borrow ideas other companies have created. Now we come to Gameloft yes there ideas for games aren't original, but the big boys have failed to bring what we want and gameloft hasn't failed at bringing heavy 3d games to the idevices. They have also brought games we want like Blades of Fury a.k.a Soul Calibur and Sandstorm a.k.a Call of Duty
Agreed, especially if gameloft doesn't charge real money for energy! Gameloft is making tons of money now out of the appstore market it wouldn't surprise me if they take it up a notch even more!
holy $hit that video on the front of touch arcade made me blow a load in my boxers. If it's a blatant copy of Halo so be it, it's the closet I'm ever gonna get to having a halo on the iphone.
Yes! And we have those Big game Developers being skeptical about the iphone's capability... Hideo Kojima ( of MGS) was not sure the iphone's capabilities so instead of giving us a proper MGS game he gave us a duck hunt clone lol! Well Gameloft is proving this hotshots wrong aren't they... They also prove that there is a market for hardcore gamers here and not just casual 99cc games... don't you find a coincidence that after the success of Gangstar, we hear the announcement of GTA:CW? Gameloft is opening doors for us and i'm soooooo thankful for that! I use to be a Gameloft critic too but starting with their Gangstar game i see a lot of potential with what they have to offer and with the release of MC and BOF there is no longer any doubt left.
That sounds like halo to me now. Time to get some Halo time on my iPhone. (Trick friends that this is Halo)
Awesome! I'm glad to see that this will be world wide Wifi. Why would they give it the ability to do push notifications if it's local only?
